Overview
- Open findings record homicide by person or persons unknown, with no definitive cause of death or perpetrator identified.
- The case was recommended for referral to the NSW Homicide Squad’s unsolved homicide team for renewed inquiry.
- The coroner urged re-testing of male DNA detected on Strobel’s clothing and renewed analysis of a hair recovered during the original investigation.
- The conclusions depart from a 2007 inquest that ruled out a sexual motive and pointed to smothering as the likely cause of death.
- A 2022 murder charge against then-boyfriend Tobias Moran was later dropped with compensation ordered, and the coroner said it was unlikely he or his sister were involved and unlikely he acted alone.
